Don’t let the sun go down … the setting of the sun always, in the scripture, is a type of the end. The setting of the sun always symbolized the ending of something.

In other words, the course of your day may have fluctuations. And maybe, in the course of your day, you may have experienced madness of the morning, or maybe noonday craziness, or bizarre afternoon happenings. But when it’s all said and done, it really doesn’t matter how it starts, it’s how it’s finished that really matters.

No matter what happens during the day, before the sun sets you have an opportunity to see some radical changes.

In the field of drama, they say that entrances are brief but exits are eternal. That means that we will be more remembered for how we end than how we start.

The sun hasn’t set yet! God isn’t through yet! And I want to say to the devil, “Don’t break out that champagne bottle yet. Don’t make your party preparations quite yet.”

Because when we understand that we serve a God who is able, willing and ready to help us, no matter how bleak it looks right now, the word that I hear in my heart is, “It can’t end this way.”

Turn to somebody and say, “It can’t end this way.”

In Mark 14 we see the pressures of the end. That’s what we’re feeling now, the pressures of the end. Jesus was about to end his life here on this earth. And they said that it brought out the best, in some people, and the worst in others.

The pressures of the end brought out the best in Mary but it brought out the worst in Judas.

It brought out the best worship when they broke open the alabaster box. It brought out the best in Mary, but it brought the worst in Judas.

And the pressures of life and the pressures of the end times is either gonna bring the best out of you or the worst out of you. And when you’re going through trials and tribulations, some of you say, “You just don’t understand what I’m going through. You don’t understand.

But it can’t end this way. It can either bring out the worst in you or bring out the best in you.

See what we’ve got to get ahold of is, it can’t end this way. What started in the fire cannot end in the smoke.
